Opinion: Save water, eat more plants
If you could save gallons of water, improve your health, and leave our Earth a little healthier, would you do it? If your diet is mainly meat-focused, you can effect big changes by beginning to transition to a diet that is plant-based. This is because pound for pound, meat has a much higher water footprint than vegetables and legumes.
